    How come a voluntary drug testing agency are so much better than WADA?

    Yoka says he'll be boxing "very soon." Maybe on the Wardley vs. Dubois or Hrgovic vs. Allen card?

    Wada provides the guide line. Vada does the testing.

    He must have eaten some crab or shrimp on gear then.
    An Okolipus will never ingest dope willingly.
    Okolipi are usually quite intelligent animals.

    Hrgovic-Parker would at least be an intriguing match-up, I guess, but I think it would be a boring fight. Hrgovic should win though, I feel he's a level above Parker.

    You think he should still be in shape, but this is Fury we're talking about. He's probably been on the one-takeaway-a-day diet since the second the fight ended. :lol:

    True, I'm probably being a little harsh. I just remember him looking disinterested at times during the Zhang fight and I can never get that McKean stinker out of my head... but yeah, since then, things have improved. Okay, replace him with Hughie Fury, then you got yourself a snoresome foursome. :p

    His fight against Adeleye was one of the best fights of the year. Whole fight was pure action and them just teeing off on each other. Then there’s a round where Hrgovic knocks down Adeleye, who gets up and catches Hrgovic with a barrage of like 19 power shots in a row. Hrgovic looks out on his feet, then somehow wakes up mid-barrage and starts defending himself again.

    Matched well, Hrgovic is plenty entertaining. Put him in against a guy who just wants to box, won’t be that great. Put him in with an aggressive guy there to throw down? Hrgovic will give you great entertainment.

    "Special beef" or "wild boar"?

    Riakporhe said he had "learned" how to lift weights "slowly" (or something like that) on Talksport, and Okolie appeared to use the same old excuse of "recovering from an injury".

    Lol.

    This is 100% correct. He’s boxing a British heavyweight

    I'd completely missed this news until I went to DAZN just now looking for the fight. They had a good lineup. Womp womp....

    Probably has been cheating against almost everyone.
